[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sniggity:
Hmm I certainly don't want that then. What if I claim the screen no longer turns on or just doesn't boot because I dropped it? Still insurance fraud? And if not could I possibly use it as a backup phone?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Technically, lying to the insurance company or filing a false claim is insurance fraud, regardless of the reasoning.

You have to send the phone into them unless it is lost or stolen. If you report it lost or stolen then the ESN is blacklisted and you won't be able to activate it again. There's really no way to do what you're trying to do without committing insurance fraud. You may be able to sell your Evo and buy a used Evo 3D for not much more, I don't really know the asking price for either phone used.

Insurance fraud doesn't help anybody. Sell ur Evo and buy a 3d if that's what u want. Check out the going prices for each and determine if you can afford the difference. If not stick with what you have. Man up

Looks good but if you want some constructive critiscism the fonts used for the title and subtitle doesn't fit the rest of the site. Also the effects applied to those two are too "complicated" (for a lack of a better word). It needs cleaness and simplicity. And last but not least hehe there is no connection between the black header with the two titles and the rest of the site (i.e. there's no blue in the titles but there is in the rest of the site. There are other ways of connecting the two parts though). Other than that it looks good :)

[Off-topic] Archer:
You don't mean generated. You mean it's a CMS. I make "generated" sites for a living, and by generated I mean that I write both client and server-side code that generates a complete client-side website. Generated means it's created on-the-fly, as and when requested, not that it's made by a core application with a bunch of plugins, such as joomla, drupal, wordpress (as used in the case of the OP's site) or vBulletin (as used for XDA, as pointed out by Max).

Anyway, surely the content matters more than the site construction. If you judge sites by the way they're built then you should..

Stop that, it's silly.

Seriously get out in the world and see some of the amazing development tools that absolutely honk all over "note pad" (which is actually called notepad).

Get off the internet because it is not what you are looking for.

If you don't like the site then just say so, but judge it correctly - on it's content.

I'm having a some-what weird issue.

I flashed Simply Honey with the GB bootloaders some time ago and have since wanted to go back to MIUI on my brothers phone.

I ODIN'ed back to stock, JFD, and used ODIN to flash the Froyo bootloaders again. Now the phone seems to work fine, but when plugging in power sources, the phone cuts off.

Does anyone know why this may be?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

yes, i bought it at Menards also. anyone get the market to install correctly? i downloaded the APK for it and am able to enter my email and everything but it crashes whenever i open it.... anyone else notice how unresponsive the screen is? i did the calibration nut still doesnt feel sensitive enough. i guess we get what we pay for :D

it would be cool to see some of the skilled devs tackle this one since im betting alot of people will be getting this for a gift/got it on black friday.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rozzops:
Yah, I've noticed the screen isn't so great and calibration didn't help. If you use a stylus (or the back of a pen) it responds much better. It appears that I'm literally fat fingering it and the pressure point is bleeding over. AKA crappy screen.

I also have been working on this for a couple days. My original goal was to get the andriod market on the phone but since we cant move the googleframeworkservice.apk over to the system/app folder things don't quite right and crashing begins. Since the system drive is read only it makes things much more difficult.

I very much enjoy this tablet. Its my first, so I really don't have much to compare it too. Your right about the screen. At first, it was really disheartening, but the stylus definately makes it much much better. We just purchased a package of DS styli from walmart.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drob311:
I'm not an expert but I have been working my butt off trying to root this. I'm pretty close. I can get super one click and gingerbreak.apk to run. Gingerbreak doesn't seem to do anything. Super one click when using the zerg exploit runs and roots but it won't reboot for me, constant bootloop. I have logcats and I'm gonna look them over. If anyone is interested in getting this s.o.b. rooted, contact me via pm and we can chat. I'm not a super dev or anything but I'm no noob to this either. Another thing I noticed is that adb worked for me without driver installation. But I also have an evo shift and htc sync was installed, and when I plugged in the tablet my htc sync notified me about an attached device...

Polaroid Tab

I also bought my Polaroid Tab (at a Menards here in Madison). If you do get any updated info, I'd love to know... I wonder if we are able to install some break on a Micro SD Card and then try to hack it that way...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rozzops:
drob311,

if you check out the other thread i posted on you will see that none of the one-click programs will work for us. Our file system is cramfs (compressed ROM file system) its compressed and read only which is what is stopping us. So far i have been able to dump the system img off the tablet but it seems to be encrypted and standard tools for reading images don't work. I'm still working on it but currently I'm stuck. If anyone can help that would be great.

What i've done so far:

You need to open the adb shell and do an rkdump on the images (ex. /data/rkdump /dev/block/mtdblock5 /sdcard/update.img). From that image you need to unpack it with AFPTool.exe which will give you the system.img. I'm currently stuck trying to open this image and modifying it. Once I'm able to open it we should easily be able to add the root tools and the Andriod market and push it back to the tablet.

Hello all! Im a new noob! I'm so excited to find this thread. I have a Polaroid Pmid700.

I purchased from Menards... Ever since then I've done alot to it even bootlooped it and I found a Windows tool to flash the single update.zip file to our tablets. It's for the Cube U9Gt. It has the Rk29 USB driver. I've used it successfully. It's for a Cube U9Gt update. It is in Chinese by default. But it can be changed to English in the program. Delete all chinese characters in filenames.

If I remember correctly I downloaded the Cubes' update package ( update.img windows drivers and application etc ) From a Chinese web site

(Maybe I could post just the needed files (2mb) later with guidance )

To use; have tab off, USB unplugged, battery full and/or charging. Hold menu key then plug in USB. Don't let go of menu key until your computer sees the rk29 device or installs it. (U probly need to point windows to the rk29 USB driver first to install)

Then open Cube update program.

Click the bottom left button and select bottom option. This changes to english. Then click browse(...) next to firmware info box, and put in your correct update zip file (2.5) path. Then click update! Your done!

Similar to the rk2818 batchupgrade tool v1.23 ( rktools) which btw will work if you have the rk29 USB driver to flash original update.zip

For flashing individual images and the rk29 USB driver search for wopad7 firmware tools package from top notch tablets

Hope this helps! Thank you to all here so far and good luck on the present challenges!
